If I recall correctly, when we first set up my father's LX90, it would sit still (apparently) for about 15 seconds or so after manually driving it to a new target (depending on which directions you approach the new target from), and then the tracking would pick up again. At high power, the target would often drift out of view before the scope started tracking again.

I think we needed to re-set the backlash settings (Alt Percent and Az Percent - see page 28 of the user manual), and now it tracks pretty well instantaneously at all times, whether manually driven to a target, or using the GoTo functions.
Hi Julian

Thank you for your reply. I think I waited for around 10s before concluding it wasnt tracking. I will again tonight and wait for at least 15sec. Yes at high power the object just zooms by

BTW do you remember what value you set for the alt and az percent?

Thank you
